It took Fergie like 15 years to reach this point, Pep is going to surpass it in just 3

I know United was a big spender for that era, but clubs back then still couldnt just buy world class foreigners for every position each transfer window which makes it easier to assemble superteams in a short period

I lived through it, they totally bought the league, got lucky with tv taking off when it did. Liverpool were held back by an incompetent David Moores and Rick Parry who then handed over the club to a pair of cowboys that put them back into the dark ages, Arsene had to see his budget go towards the construction of the Emirates but never saw it return, Leeds tried to take a shortcut and fucked it up, it was only Roman's billionaires gave Utd competition and Fergie bemoaned it.

DELET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>got lucky with tv taking off when it did
Every other team got lucky with that too.

Yeah I remember Pep when he just started at Aberdeen too

It took Pep 1 year actually

City won't win CL, they'll shit their beds in semis against Juve

This. FA has even admitted it helped manure to raise England's profile abroad. That 99 team wasn't impressive but the trophy cabinet is

Honestly people forget how lucky they were that year. They only won the PL by one point and it was with 79 points (which would have got them 3rd last season, below Mourinho's Man Utd). Then they only one the CL due to two lucky injury time goals.

between 1992 and 2011 only four teams won the league. man utd invested heavily on players not even the Glazers made much of a dent in his spending.

>man utd
old trafford was designed to be easy to redevelop, the success allowed big transfer funds on players

>blackburn
were one season wonders, won the league once, lost shearer, three years later they were relegated

>arenal
wenger assembled a world class squad, spent their money on a stadium and never won it since

>chelsea
average side similar to newcastle or leeds, never taken serious until a russian billionaire

>wenger assembled a world class squad, spent their money on a stadium and never won it since
This is the same shit that's going to happen to Spurs, they won't be "title challengers" ever again.

very possible, maybe the game has changed and Levy can bring in more corporate money and sell executive boxes off at a higher rate than arsenal were able to do in 2006. also it's a different set of circumstances building new and what spurs have done. guess it all depends on how much the extra land cost they've needed to add on to the existing site rather than moving over a mile away.

This is the one positive if Liverpool do lose the league. I hope City go on to make it a quadruple and completely destroy United's acheivements.

So what? That doesn't mean that they benefited disproportionately from the TV money.

>FA has even admitted it helped manure to raise England's profile abroad
What does the FA have to do with the Premier League? How did the FA help Man Utd?

yes but le sir alex did it in ye olde time so it's better and oil man bad

throughout the 60's, 70's, 80's lots of different title winning side, success didn't mean dominance. Liverpool were the exception only because of their mangers were like some sort of Jedi passing on the experience to the next padawan. there was always was a chance for the rest of the pack to catch up and compete meaning an entertaining and open league. after 1992 it was a new set of financial rules, the introduction of the champions league and premier league meant when Utd won titles they had the muscle to stay on top. in 30 years (60-92) there were at at least twelve sides who won the title in the following 20 years they were four winners and two of them were only because of their owners, Blackburn and Chelsea.

tbf Fergie had to build them up from being shite to title winners to challenging in Europe, and too over at United when British football was being left behind by Europe after the Heysel ban. Pep turned up to multi hundred million pound squad that was probably already good enough to win the league, before spending even more money on it in a period where United, Chelsea and Arsenal had all been poorly ran for a few years, Liverpool were still building under Klopp and Spurs were spending what little money they did have to put into their squad on a new stadium. United were lucky to win the treble that season, though you kind of have to be to compete on 3 fronts all season, but it would still be a more impressive feat than if Pep was to win the treble this year.

Sure buddy, they won a 38 game league campaign by luck and were totally lucky against Inter, Juventus and Bayern on the way to champions League glory.

It's not luck if Bayern were shit at defending corners, that's a weak point of their game that was exploited by United.

Fergie dominated a league for two fucking decades and won the league with a squad consisting of Rafael, Carrick, Oshae and other shitters. He also made it to 4 champions league finals winning two of them. He single handedly cut down livershits first division titles to mincemeat and ensured that scousers will be eternally assblasted, a fact that we should all be proud of. Poop doesn’t have the right to sniff his excrement

>He also made it to 4 champions league finals winning two of them
and who did he lose the other two against?

Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi.

t. seething scouser

This. Spurs are in nowhere near as strong a position now as Arsenal were in 2004/5. Once the likes of Kane, Eriksen etc. are either sold or shit, they won't come back.
And they've still won nothing.

>(which would have got them 3rd last season, below Mourinho's Man Utd)
What a terrible comparison. The league was nowhere near as polarised into dominant and shit teams then as it is now. It's still technically true that anyone can beat anyone else, but realistically, teams in the bottom half beating City and Liverpool is a fucking spectacle, not a minor surprise.
